A Piece of Cake

 Nonfiction by Cupcake Brown.

This was also an interesting memoir of the Harrowing Childhood variety, but it's not the same as The Pale Faced Lie.

An eleven-year-old girl, called Cupcake by her mother and LaVette by her father, wakes up one day to find her mother dead and her life completely upended. She goes through many terrible things as a foster child, a runaway, a gangbanger, and a "trash-can" junkie, before finally finding herself and God's purpose for her life.

This is not a Christian story; for one thing, there are way too many cuss-words for that! Still, it is a story about the living God and His mysterious ways in one woman's life.
